Due to the design of the Extender RF 2x it can only be fitted to specific models of the RF lenses, which does not include your RF-S 18-45mm and RF=S 55-210mm lenses. This is because the extender has a protruding front element that sits inside the rear of the lens it is fitted to. There is no space in your lenses for the extender.

The following lenses can be used with the 2x or 1.4x extender;

RF 400mm F2.8 L IS USM
RF 600mm F4 L IS USM
RF 600mm F11 IS STM
RF 800mm F5.6 L IS USM
RF 800mm F11 IS STM
RF 1200mm F8 L IS USM
RF100-300mm F2.8 L IS USM
RF100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM
RF100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM (only when lens is zoomed to 300mm or more)

Canon does not make any extender for these lenses. Canon extenders only fit the lenses listed above.

From the picture below you can see how much the extender protrudes. This is not possible to fit inside your lenses, or many lenses. At this time I am not aware of any extenders from other companies for the RF lenses.
